I don't know if to laugh or cry at the highlighted statement. She's the damn health Minister, for God's sake. The whole panel of doctors come under her. Even the board which checked NS in Services, the whole hospital is under her control, and indirectly under Federal Government's control.
So you're saying, all of them were lying?
And then Prime Minister saying that he independently verified the reports. Was the PM lying before?
No. I'm saying he knows he can't win the case because "technically" nawaz does have a life threatening illness. IK has had to say a lot through gritted teeth because he can't overturn corrupt judges. Do you follow what these sickos say in court? If anyone disputes the validity of Sharif's reports, whether medically trained, gynecologist, cardiologist or the pm himself, they get threatened with vague incitement of "contempt of court".
If anyone dares dispute the report that Sharif is in a life threatening state AND needs treatment abroad asap, that person gets slapped with contempt by this kangaroo court.
This is why I say they have too much power.
We know how Imran really feels from his comments AFTER nawaz left the country.
No health minister or pm has any power in front of these kangaroo judges and fraud doctors.
To control Pakistan, one needs control of all legislative arms. If the military is on your side but nobody else it's useless if you wish to avoid international sanctions.
The western world is just itching for Khan to lose it and Chuck nawaz under a bus and purge the courts of his allies. The minute he does that - bang - Pakistan international status is down the pan. Any attempt at austerity and economic recovery thwarted.
You need to read between the lines and see what's going on. Everyone else can see this quite obviously.
This is how democracy is purchased throughout the third world.
This is why the tin-pot dictator with bags of cash and a loyal dynastic following wins at "democracy". Every. Single. Time. NS is the guy who can and will pay bribes, pay for pr strategists, secure foreign support and pay for media support and paint himself as the innocent victim even when caught red handed committing crime against his people. Why? Because he has the will and the means. Adherents to true values of democracy fail at this game.
Until we stop selling our duties and responsibilities to our nations and each other for a paltry price, there is nothing Khan or anyone else can do for us.
